We are definitely in the "old-lady" name group, though quite a few of these names are making me second guess that move. We have Irene, Florence, Sylvia, Judy, Edith, Ruth, and Betty.
We have 3 2-week-old chicks and 3 5-month-old hens. When is the best time to introduce them? The babies are still inside with a heat lamp, but will it be okay to put them together in the same coop when the time comes for them to go outside? Our coop is large (4' W x 10' L x 6' H) so there's...
Our chicks have always seemed to love going outside on a warm, sunny day.... We've found they get under some shrubs if it seems too hot. Of course we supervise, but I like giving mine a break from the box when the weather cooperates.
I have 6 frizzle bantams who were born early May 2014.... How can I tell who's a rooster and who's a hen? No crowing going on and they all look just alike. We have 6 other chickens so hoping to get these to a good home soon - but I'd love to be able to say whether they're hens or roosters...
